More quotes by John Waters
I understand why people want to look up their friends - usually they want to see what people they've wanted to have sex with look like.
John Waters
I imagine Johnny Mathis hates Bin Laden as much as I do, but could Johnny agree Bin Laden had a better speechwriter than Bush? Axis of Evil? Come on. A swimmer in the ocean does not fear the rain is much more powerful propaganda. Poetic, even.
John Waters
Everyone wants to be called an outsider so I'm a proud insider. If I was young I'd be in my parents' house shutting down the government on my computer. The new delinquent is the hacker.
John Waters
You have to remember that it is impossible to commit a crime while reading a book.
John Waters
I built my [early] career on negative reviews. There was a cultural war going on, the '60s was going on. All the film critics were square. They hated my movies. You could never have that happen today. Critics are way too hip.
John Waters
Catholics have more extreme sex lives because they're taught that pleasure is bad for you. Who thinks it's normal to kneel down to a naked man who's nailed to a cross? It's like a bad leather bar.
John Waters
God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.
John Waters
Going to a sensational murder trial is the only way I can relax.
John Waters
I mean, what is prison, really, except a good bar without the liquor?
John Waters
I think the best article was the article about radical feminists being against transgender women. I found that the most fascinating article and I absolutely loved it. I love battles within the gay community or feminist community. I love radical theorists.
John Waters
I probably would have made [films] anywhere. Every city has something they're ashamed of. I would have made films about it and turned it into something positive.
John Waters
When I started my goal was to make a successful underground movie. I started making movies in the mid-60s. Underground cinema then only lasted about two or three years.
John Waters
Well cult is a word you would never say in Hollywood. In any film business, if you're trying to get your next film made, you would never say, Oh, my last film was a cult film. I'd say, Oh great, well I hope this one isn't!
John Waters
The only time I had a normal boyfriend was during the time of AIDS, so maybe that saved me. It's certainly not karma.
John Waters
If you ever go home with somebody and they don't have books in their house, don't sleep with them. I think that's very important.
John Waters
I'm an old person because I still buy DVDs. I have every one of my albums and 45s - I even have a couple of 33s and I do have a turntable. But I must admit, I don't listen to vinyl today. But I listen to all types of music.
John Waters
I always say you need something weird on your face and some good shoes and nobody looks in the middle.
John Waters
I care about the presidential elections. I always vote. Sometimes I've voted more than once, illegally. But you can't anymore. The picture ID has ruined everything.
John Waters
My films can be considered political action against the tyranny of good taste.
John Waters
I don't trust anyone that hasn't been to jail at least once in their life.
John Waters
